The End of the Immortal Path

Chapter 147 Husband, do you think staying up all night makes you a prodigy?

Sunlight pierced through the simple mist and fell on the courtyard where Jiang Man was.

At this moment, Jiang Man gently squeezed the lock, and then the lock disappeared from the light.

As if it had never appeared.

"What force formed this lock?" Jiang Man asked curiously.

He knew this was something in his mind.

However, it is unclear how it was formed or what forces it relies on.

Anyway, this lock is just a feeling.

Depression, despair, helplessness.

However, Jiang Man didn't think much of it.

It's nothing important; just keep making progress.

As for the evil god's revenge, there's even less to worry about.

The fairy herself didn't think much about revenge, let alone a dead evil god.

Continuing to improve one's cultivation level is the most important thing to do.

It's a bit of a shame that I haven't been able to get anything good.

Occasionally he would touch things.

But
The stuff that comes out is either garbage or not worth mentioning.

There was nothing he could do.

Occasionally something worth mentioning, simply because it's worth mentioning.

It's impossible to record.

Jiang Man glanced at Old Huang and saw that it was still eating grass, so he didn't say anything more.

Let it immerse itself in the awe of this unparalleled genius.

After that, Jiang Man began to calculate his spiritual source.

He originally had 8,000, then Little Fatty gave him 15,000, and the Secret Realm gave him 70,000.

That adds up to 93,000.

Jiang Man was shocked.

Ninety-three thousand!
You might consider buying a spirit sword.

This way, at least we'll have a powerful spell.

Otherwise, it would be too tiring to fight.

The Heavenly Heart Seal has no power; it can only be used for defense.

The Shadowless Palm technique is nothing special in ordinary situations, but it's not enough to defeat a genius.

The power of the Greatsword Technique must be much greater than that of the Shadowless Palm.

It's about consuming the spirit sword.

While Jiang Man was still considering, he suddenly saw a light appear.

It is the light emanating from the old ox.

Without hesitation, Jiang Man immediately took out the ball of light from the old ox.

Soon, Meng Qiewei's voice was heard, soft and melodious, with a hint of inquiry and curiosity: "Husband, I recently heard that something happened at the Wuyun Sect."

"Someone stayed up all night to practice and got first place."

"Such things are rare. My husband thinks that by staying up all night to gain more time and become number one, does that make him a genius?"

"Furthermore, did the evil god that my husband kept escape from the immortal sect?"

"I heard that the immortal sects have begun a large-scale investigation into evil gods."

At the very beginning, Jiang Man's heart skipped a beat.

It wasn't because the other person's voice was pleasant, but because the content was chilling.

He thought Meng Qiewei would ask, "Is this person who stays up all night you?"

It turns out the question was whether getting first place by staying up all night makes one a prodigy.

With that, Jiang Man was relieved.

As for whether he is a prodigy or not.
This is a meaningless question.

"This is a misunderstanding of genius by the world."

Jiang Man shook his head, not caring about such a trivial matter.

His light was still faint, and they didn't really understand it yet.

They will find out in a year or two at most.

"It's always been the geniuses who stay up late, not the other way around."

Staying up late won't improve your talent, but talented people are all practicing. How can others with mediocre talent sleep?

"What did your wife say?" Only then did the old ox come to his senses.

Jiang Man told the truth.

Whether staying up all night to achieve first place makes one a prodigy or not, the old ox doesn't care at all.

Because they hadn't seen what the first-place winner had done.

As for the second thing, it never paid any attention to it.

"Old Huang, you won't be found out by the Immortal Sect, will you?" Jiang Man asked curiously.

"You should worry about yourself. You've unleashed the aura of an evil god, and you're about to be investigated," the old ox said casually.

Jiang Man was not surprised; he knew that someone would come to ask him questions while he was in the secret realm.

really.

That afternoon, Jiang Man saw three people approach him.

Their positioning was deliberate, seemingly designed to prevent anyone from escaping at any moment.

The leader was a middle-aged man dressed in a black robe, giving off a serious vibe.

"Jiang Man? He came out of the sixth secret realm of the ancient well?" the middle-aged man asked.

Jiang Man thought for a moment, then nodded.

"I have some questions that need your answers. They're right here with you, is that alright?" the middle-aged man asked.

Jiang Man had no objection whatsoever: "Okay."

This decisiveness surprised the other party somewhat.

Then the other two dispersed and began to collect the overflowing power.

Jiang Man sat with the middle-aged man at a table and chairs in the courtyard.

"My name is Ren Qian. Just think of me as someone from the Enforcement Hall. I'm here to ask you about some minor issues that have arisen in the secret realm." Ren Qian said calmly.

Jiang Man nodded: "I understand, so should I start from the beginning?"

Ren Qian nodded: "Either is fine."

Jiang Man agreed and then said directly, "I encountered an evil god inside, and she made me her subordinate."

Ren Qian was prepared to listen to Jiang Man's long-winded explanation, then find the problem in it, and then use the surrounding atmosphere to expose Jiang Man's collusion with the evil god.

He thought it through very well, and he did it very well.

This has always been the case.

But
The other party's very first sentence completely stumped him.

The two people around who were collecting the aura of the evil god were stunned for a moment.

It feels like all the preparations were in vain.

Ren Qian stared at Jiang Man in astonishment: "You're saying you colluded with an evil god?"

Jiang Man pondered for a moment and nodded: "If having made a deal with an evil god counts as collusion, then I did indeed collude with an evil god."

Of course, I also keep evil gods.

You have not wronged anyone.

Ren Qian found the person's answer to be completely unexpected.

The opponent is number one, and they are the number one team in the three academies.

They showed us plenty of respect when we arrived.

After all, there's always the possibility of making a mistake.

However, the other party admitted it too quickly and too directly.

It leaves one speechless.

Finally, he decided to hear the details.

Jiang Man told the truth.

"So you were surrounded by many demon kings and forced to agree to the deal in order to keep her calm?" Ren Qian asked.

Jiang Man nodded.

Stabilizing the opponent in exchange for spiritual resources is also a form of stabilization.

"Did she lock it for you?" Ren Qian asked again.

Jiang Man nodded again.

Aren't you worried that you'll cut off your future prospects?

"do not worry."

"Why?"

"She can't hold me back."

"Why?"

"Such talent."

Ren Qian was silent for a moment, then said, "Could you let us check that lock?"

Jiang Man agreed, but the other party arrived too late.

The lock is gone.

The two people who were inspecting the items then frowned.

After checking it again and again, a conclusion was finally reached.

No lock.

Ren Qian personally used his magic weapon to check it over.

In the end, nothing was found.

"It really can't be locked up?" Ren Qian was shocked.

Or is it that the evil god on the other side didn't lock down?
He then asked other questions, such as how to contact me and what my next steps were.

Jiang Man answered them one by one.

The other party didn't tell him anything and just told him to wait.

Ren Qian looked at Jiang Man and didn't think the other party was lying.

Then he got up to leave.

"Is there a conclusion yet?" Jiang Man asked curiously.

Ren Qian nodded and said, "I've got it. They shouldn't come looking for you again, but if the evil god does come looking for you, I hope you'll let me know."

"You can send your instructor to the Enforcement Hall."

After a pause, Ren Qian asked curiously, "Who is your teacher?"

“Yan Yiqiu,” Jiang Man answered truthfully. Upon hearing this, Ren Qian smiled and said, “What a coincidence, she happens to be over there. I’ll go and have a chat with her.”

Jiang Man was puzzled. Why would Mr. Yan be over there?

The other party kindly explained the reason.

"Because I stayed up late, Mr. Yan was reported for illegal teaching?" Jiang Man was shocked.

A skillful hand is not as good as raising your hand.

They took the person away in no time.

Jiang Man asked if anything would happen.

The other person shook their head, saying that nothing was wrong.

This time, there were just too many people reporting it.

We can only bring it back and ask.

The sect does not recommend staying up late, but it will not stop you if you insist on doing so.

You can decide the pros and cons of staying up late yourself.

After everyone left, Jiang Man looked at the old ox and said, "It doesn't seem like anything's wrong."

"They didn't expect you to be so honest, not hiding anything at all," the old ox said casually.

Of course, most importantly, Jiang Man was not locked up, which meant he was free from the power of the evil god.

Then there's no need to worry about it too much.

Regardless of whether the child grows up to be an evil god, the sect will continue to nurture him as always.

"So this matter is over?" Jiang Man asked.

"If that evil god doesn't come after you, then go ahead," the old ox said.

"Will she come looking for me?" Jiang Man asked.

"It's hard to say. It depends on whether she left any other methods, but her willpower definitely won't hold up in a short time. She's exposed herself, so she'll have to be eliminated. Any evil god who isn't wary of the Immortal Sect's Great Governance will be taught a lesson by the Immortal Sect's Great Governance." The old ox said while eating grass.

Jiang Man nodded.

It seems that evil gods basically dare not show their faces within the sect.

After a pause, Jiang Man looked at the old ox and asked curiously, "Old ox, how strong are you among the evil gods?"

Old Huang glanced at Jiang Man but did not answer.

It continues to eat its grass.

Jiang Man then asked a different question: "Old Huang, do you think there are any other evil gods in the sect besides you, like me?"

"It will definitely happen," the old ox said confidently.

"The sect can't find anything?"

"It can be found out, but it won't be that easy, unless the immortal sects intervene."

"The immortal sects don't care?"

"For now, as long as you don't cause trouble, the immortal sects will stay out of it, and the sects will pretend they don't know anything. But restoring order to the immortal sects is not as difficult as you think. They will have a hard time freeing up their resources in a short period of time, and the sects are also entangled in many affairs."

Jiang Man looked at the old ox and said, "Old ox, you seem to highly recommend the Great Governance of the Immortal Sect."

Upon hearing this, the old ox looked at Jiang Man and said, "You can tell good from bad at a glance."

Old Huang didn't say anything more.

Instead, it continued to eat grass.

Jiang Man didn't ask any more questions and decided to focus on his cultivation.

It's still early, so let's not waste this precious time. Let's practice our visualization techniques first.

This encounter with the Demon King made him realize his serious shortcomings.

Besides lacking offensive tactics, there's also the issue of the gourd burning.

When the True Martial Arts are activated, the gourd will burn very quickly.

The more a gourd is tempered, the more resistant it is to burning.

Therefore, one must constantly hone one's skills and then seek out techniques for attack.

Try to avoid wasting your hidden spiritual energy when facing the Demon King next time.

Ideally, it should be a one-hit kill.

Time passes day by day.

The news of the seven outer peaks staying up all night to cultivate spread very quickly.

Although she was shocked to see the rankings of the eight academies, she still had doubts, feeling that staying up all night to cultivate would definitely damage her mental health.

Although some people have tried, only a very small number have succeeded.

They always felt that staying up late was wrong.

It puts a lot of mental and emotional stress on me.

Until news broke that Yan Yiqiu had been arrested.

Who is Yan Yiqiu? He is the instructor at the Overnight Courtyard.

Why was she arrested?

He was reported for illegally practicing immortality.

In an instant, the crowd erupted in uproar.

They would have questioned it if the person hadn't been arrested, but the fact that they were arrested proves that staying up all night to cultivate immortality might actually be effective.

Otherwise, why would anyone report it?
Now even more people believe it.

Zhuo Bufan and the others dared not relax their vigilance.

Because when others start staying up late, they relax at this time and are easily overtaken.

He asked the tribe for resources again; whether they give them to him or not is their business.

The same goes for Zhao Yaoyao.

They all consulted Lin Qingshan.

The other party is poor, so we have a different perspective.

Although they can't come up with such ideas, they will use such people.

This is enough.

Knowing people and making good use of them is important; you don't need to know everything yourself.

Being able to distinguish between advantages and disadvantages is sufficient.

September 14th.

The day before the formal start of classes.

A woman arrived at Jiang Man's door.

She wore a pink dress and smiled brightly in the sunlight, looking innocent and carefree.

"Is this Senior Brother Jiang's residence?" she asked, standing in the courtyard and looking at the people inside.

Jiang Man was still discussing the greatsword technique with the old ox.

Since it's a superior technique, he plans to learn it in his spare time, along with the Green Smoke Dance.

Neither of the two superior cultivators had time to properly cultivate.

He was focused on improving both his mind and body.

Soon we'll reach the Seventh Academy. To advance to the First, Second, or Third Academy, we'll likely need to reach the Perfected stage of cultivation.

Time is not as plentiful as before.

Seeing someone asking a question, Jiang Man glanced at the person curiously.

My first thought was that I'd seen some little girl.

"You were looking for me?" Jiang Man stood up and asked.

The newcomer blinked, looked at Jiang Man, and smiled, "Jiang Man, Senior Brother Jiang?"

"Yes." Jiang Man nodded.

"Can I ask you how you achieved first place?" the other person asked with a curious look.

Jiang Man fell silent.

The other person asked in confusion, "Senior Brother Jiang?"

Jiang Man sighed. "Someone who doesn't know the rules has arrived?"

How dare you make a special trip to ask if you don't have any spiritual resources?

The woman was eventually asked to leave.

She looked at Jiang Man, who had closed the door, with some surprise.

But a smile quickly appeared on his lips: "It seems he really wasn't caught."

She turned and left.

"Although we don't know what methods the evil god used, he did manage to evade capture by the sect this time."

"All that's left is to let him sleep, and the evil god will manifest in his dreams."

"In this way, we can communicate."

"After that, he fully cooperated with me."

"The resources of the top three hospitals are enough to expose me to more things."

As for her suddenly coming to find someone, it wasn't really unexpected.

Because her family had arranged for her to contact Jiang Man, the best course of action was to win him over for her family's sake.

She will do her best.

After all, these were resources that the evil god had found for her.

Everything will be hers.

As for not sleeping, that's impossible.

Those who come out of that secret realm must sleep.

Only in this way can the oppressive feeling caused by that well be alleviated.

Sooner or later.

the other side.

The old ox withdrew his gaze and said, "That woman is not normal."

"It's definitely not normal. Why would a normal person come to me without bringing any spiritual energy? I'll run into her again soon."

Jiang Man didn't pay any attention.

Many crises will automatically disappear after his cultivation level improves.

Instead of wasting energy dealing with these problems, it's better to focus on improving your cultivation level.

The old ox remained silent for a moment before speaking, "I mean she's connected to an evil god."

Jiang Man: "."

The next day.

early morning.

The woman who was looking for Jiang Man yesterday had just gotten up and was about to go to the courtyard to cultivate when she suddenly found three people standing at the door.

The one leading them was Ren Qian.

He remained gentle and said, "Junior Sister Huo, someone has reported that you are related to the evil god. Come with us."
